Man, it's really UGLY out there!
I ran in the forest with my 2 dogs, NOT 3 (Jazz never came home,R.I.P. JAZZER!, she's a goner!) on Saturday, about 3 miles. Then EXCELLENT MotoCross! The weekend report seems to sound like a broken record, eh? :):):)
Sunday with The Woodlands Running Club was at least as bad as the previous week! ARGH! My running buddy, Sabrina was considerate enough to put up with my frequent walking near the end of the 10 miles. Man, this is NOT good! I'm in trouble over here! I'm stepping it up, gotta do it!
Sunday had excellent motocross races at the track...I opted to drink beer while spectating and putter around on a minibike. I did see the over-40 amateur class races and I thought, "sheeet, I CAN hang with these guys!" At only 5 laps per race, there's not enough advancement by the fastest riders to start "lapping" the slow guys. So suffice to say, if I hang in the back half of the race, it's not too crowded and fears of getting run-over by the leaders are minimal.
Monday, Labor Day, I went Motocross riding with some buds at the track....EXCELLENT OUTING!!
On another note, I saw a guy I know who was racing on Sunday. I had never met his wife. Nice lady, pleasant. The dude was barking orders at her, "go get me that jug of water" (while sitting in a chair and pointing). And other orders, as well. I guess it changed my opinion of the guy. I'm thinking, "get off your ass and go get it yourself!"...."AND since when did you get polio, lard ass??"...."it's not like you're running a marathon, you're racing ONLY 5 laps" (his riding was totally unimpressive).....my opinion of him has changed a lot...I'd bet that he barks at her all the time.... :( :( :(

There is something to be said for 'training'.
Otherwise it will always be ugly in my opinion.
True dat, apparently....
sorry to hear about jazz, she was a cool dog! and i can't believe your view of a cool riding buddy was tarnished by a wife who can't fetch water in a timely fashion...
HAHAHAHA! "Since when did you get polio." Now THAT is funny!
Ev- the owner of my husband's company is a professional race car driver in the daytona prototype class. we were invited to travel to the race in sonoma and watch the race, check out the cars, go in the pits etc. I don't particularly care about racing, but it was interesting to do once.
